If you like 1950s moms in gorgeous dresses gliding through sparkling modernist kitchens while cheerful violins play in the background and the narrator describes the appliances as "expressing not only the American love of beauty but also the basic freedom of the American people, which is the freedom of indvidual choice" -- and I'd like to know who DOESN'T like this sort of thing! -- then download this eight-minute clip, turn down the lights, crank up the computer's speakers and pour yourself a stiff martini. And I say you smokers out there should go ahead and disobey your wives and light up in front of the computer.

It's called the "American Look," subtitled "In appreciation of the stylists of America." Produced by Chevrolet (but there's not a car in it).

Year: 1958
